Wine Spectator, July 2011
“Pure, ripe, juicy and well-structured, with firm plum, spice, herb and wild berry notes joined by a minerally and pebbly edge that’s cleansing.” – J.L.

"Pleasantly fresh earth scents join supple ripe plum and black cherry fruit in this medium- to full-bodied wine that wins points for delicacy and finesse. Drink now through 2014. 2,449 cases made." –JL  88 points

 

2006

Connoisseur's Guide to California Wine, February 2009
"Very ripe and just a touch earthy to boot, this wine starts off in a problematic direction, but it clears up with airing and brings out a highly concentrated fruit character that lifts the aromas out of their doldrums and propels the flavors into juicy prominence from entry to lasting finish.  Admittedly, the aromas are not this wine's strong suit, but its depth and richness earn it full commendation and, were it not for its awkward start, this bottling would surely have rated higher."  90 points

Wine Spectator, August 31, 2008
"This shows a mix of cherry and strawberry rhubarb flavors that are lean and spicy, with fresh earth in the mix. Drink now through 2011. 4,580 cases made." -JL  86 points
